The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:44 am Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	268°	25.7°
5:50 am Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	273°	10.5°
6:36 am Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in 18°19'12.7"N, 65°13'44.4"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 18°19'12.7"N, 65°13'44.4"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 18°19'12.7"N, 65°13'44.4"W because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West for the best view of the eclipse.	276°	0.2°
6:38 am Tue, Mar 3	Setting	Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets.	276°	-0.2°
7:04 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	278°	-6.7°
7:33 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	281°	-13.4°
8:02 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	283°	-19.9°
9:17 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	291°	-36.3°
10:23 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	302°	-49.8°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 46% of the time (since 2000).
